Lauki is also called Dhoodhi, ghiya or Bottle gourd …As lauki is mostly made of water ( almost 96%) it is very easy to digest and is healthy too..It is very low in calorie (12 cal/ 100 gm)

Lauki is not a favorite vegetable. But surprisingly I use to love lauki sabzi made by my Mom while growing up it was on top in my favorites list. Mom always add lots of desi ghee in the hot sabzi just before serving which enhances its flavor ..But if you or your kids doesn’t like to eat lauki then you can use lauki as hidden ingredient , like lauki paratthas, lauki halwa, lauki kofte, lauki raita etc..i will post more lauki related recipes soon and please share how you use lauki in your cooking.
